My fledgling attempt at tomatoes and peppers, on my back deck. Also, some pretty flowers.

1 Overall shot of the back deck, morning sun.
2 I have tomatoes growing! Not as many as I would have thought; perhaps it's normal for some of the blossoms to not develop. But just in case, I added flower boxes to the back deck railing, to attract more bees and butterflies, to do their pollination thing.
This is Chef Jeff's Better Bush.
3 Two tomatoes! (I have 3 vines in all, different varieties.) This is Chef Jeff's Patio tomato.
4 Chef Jeff's Sungold Yellow Cherry tomatoes. Can't wait for these to ripen. Yum!
5 Petunias, salvia, and sweet potato vine, (Ipomoea). I have varying colors.
6 Ah, I do have a pepper starting to grow! God knows if it'll get to any size, though . . . this pot doesn't get as much sun as the tomato pot does. I think this is supposed to be a banana pepper. Good luck.
7 Another railing box.
8 Close-up of some pepper flowers. Dunno if they will develop.
9 Perspective shot, down the railing.
10 I added some garden flag holders and flags today. I need two more holders; I have 2 more flags.

12 Perspective shot. That stack of old chairs on the deck to the left is GOING, next bulk pick-up day.
13 From on the deck. Hubby is busy googling restaurants in Chicago.)
Next project: adding the two additional holders, and stringing colored deck lights. Arriba! Arriba!
